"An 'adjustable lunatic'?" page from 365 series, 2015 "Yes, sir, an adjustable lunatic -- you may know I don't make a business of insanity  page from 365 series by Suzanne Coley or I wouldn't be running at large here on the streets of the city." page from 365 series by Suzanne Coley "Yes," he replied, "but you can't tell what kind and I can tell you the very trade you work at." page from 365 series, 2015 The poems and short stories by James Whitcomb Riley are touching and inspiring. page 49, An Adjustable Lunatic by James Whitcomb Riley, 1897  An Adjustable Lunatic is one of my favorite stories because it reminds me that no matter what a person The Works of James Whitcomb Riley, Volume II, 1897  looks like or how he behaves in society, we really don't know his private thoughts.

Back in May 2014, I submitted this abstract painting in a reader challenge called "Put a Stamp On It" sponsored by Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.  Empathy: One Heartbeat This is what I wrote: Empathy: A world where all humans are connected to one giant heartbeat and we feel each others joys, pleasures, and good deeds.  A world in which Peach on Earth is everywhere.  One Heart is an original textured abstract painting of a landscape with the flow of life woven throughout. One Heart: 7 Continents and 5 Oceans I did not win.  However, the idea of continuing to create art in which the flow of life is woven throughout our 7 continents and 5 oceans has stayed with me.  We are all connected. Sending Peace to all  from Baltimore.

There is nothing new under the sun.    ~Ecclesiastes 1:9 New Moon by Suzanne Coley Lucky Numbers: 11, 12, 14, 20,  40, 50

I've been channeling poems from the book Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Browning. Silkscreens, acrylic, mixed media on paper How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.   ~Elizabeth Browning

Today when I was doing research at the Met in NYC, I had the pleasure of meeting Tim Gunn! Tim Gunn at the Metropolitan Museum of Art  Impeccably dressed, Tim Gunn was very kind and generous with his time.
